Chapter 116: Black Water Pool
"How could there be such a thing...... It's also horrible. Zhu Bajie couldn't help but shudder.
Sun Wukong, who had been listening carefully beside him, asked at this time: "How did you know that the city would sink? Is it just your own guess?"
Meng Ge sighed: "You may not know when you first come to the city, in fact, the entire city has sunk nearly three feet deeper than before. ”
Three feet deep!
Ruan Jiu couldn't help but gasp. Three-foot ...... That's about a full meter.
Half a year, I saw a drop of more than one meter, which is indeed too terrifying.
"Amitabha Buddha ......"
Tang Seng clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name softly.
"When we learned the truth, everyone lived every day with extreme caution. Because no one knows when the city under their feet will suddenly disappear into the vast land. Meng Ge closed his eyes slightly and said lightly.
"So your father also knows about it?" asked Sun Wukong.
Meng Ge nodded: "Father does know. After all, this kind of thing is no secret in the city of Migration. ”
Ruan Jiu thought for a moment and asked, "Since you already know that the city will sink, why do you choose to stay here?" Is it just for that little bit of affection in your heart?"
Ruan Jiu looked a little excited, she really didn't understand why these people were doing this. Knowing that the city would sink and disappear, they still chose to stay here. Is it really possible to be so attached to a place that you are not afraid of life and death and look down on everything?
Seeing that Ruan Jiu's mood swings were a little big, Tang Seng called her softly.
Hearing Tang Seng's call, Ruan Jiu's heart trembled slightly.
"Sorry...... I just had a bit of a gaffe......"
Meng Ge shook his head: "You're not wrong. It's just that for those of us who have lived in the ancient city for most of our lives, even if the final outcome is really like this, it is our fate. ”
There was silence. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Meng Ge ordered his subordinates to set up the meal.
Although there is something bad in my heart, I still have to eat it. At least Zhu Bajie is still very open.
During the meal, Tang Seng asked Meng Ge if there was really no way to stop the sinking of the city.
Meng Ge glanced at the door with a complicated expression, and said slowly: "Actually, there is another theory about the sinking of the city. ”
"Oh?
Hearing this, everyone who was originally eating fast all cast inquiring glances at Meng Ge.
Meng Ge thought for a while and said, "Some people of the older generation believe that the reason why the Ancient City of Xihu is like this is entirely because the Heavenly Destiny Divine Beast that guards the city has left. It is precisely because of the loss of the protection of the divine beast that this thousand-year-old ancient city will disappear on this land so quickly. ”
"Destiny Divine Beast?"
Sun Wukong was also interested at this time. "How do you know what beast is gone?"
"In the middle of the city there was a pool of water, and it was about a thousand feet deep. Legend has it that the Destiny Divine Beast that guards the ancient city lives in the deepest part of the pool. It's just that no one actually got in. Half a year ago, the water in the pond, which had been crystal clear, turned black as black ink overnight. Some people tried to go into the water to check, but the black water was so cold that it was impossible for ordinary people to go down. Because of this, some people suspect that the fall of the ancient city is actually due to the departure of the Destiny Divine Beast that has been guarding us. ”
After listening to Meng Ge's narration, Sun Wukong groaned slightly for a moment.
"Wukong, did you think of something?"
Seeing Sun Wukong's expression, Tang Seng asked suspiciously.
"Master, I think this is quite strange. The water in the pool turned black overnight, apparently a monster was at work. I'm worried that the sinking of this ancient city may have something to do with it. Sun Wukong said.
"Monsters...... How is this possible?"
Meng Ge's face changed, obviously not believing Sun Wukong's words.
At this time, Zhu Bajie said: "Don't believe it, my monkey brother said that there are monsters, and the eight achievements are there." ”
"Huh?"
Seeing that the other party was shocked, Zhu Bajie casually picked up a piece of steamed bread on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.
"This ...... What's ...... Good...... I'm surprised? If I were you...... Definitely have to find a way to get into that ...... Take a look at the ...... in the pool Take a look at the ...... Ahem......"
Because he was in too much of a hurry, Zhu Bajie choked for a while.
Seeing this, Ruan Jiu hurriedly handed him a glass of water.
"Second Senior Brother, you eat slowly. Otherwise, you'll choke!" reminded the sand monk from the side.
Zhu Bajie gave him a blank look, as if to say, why didn't you say it earlier? Didn't you see that I was choking?
"Bajie, you're a good idea. Sun Wukong said suddenly.
Zhu Bajie looked at Sun Wukong with a puzzled expression, not knowing why he suddenly said this.
Ruan Jiu was the first to comprehend Sun Wukong's meaning, so his eyes lit up and he said, "Senior brother, do you want to go to the bottom of the pool to have a look?"
Sun Wukong smiled and nodded: "If you want to figure out what is going on, you can only go to the bottom of the pool to take a look." ”
"You...... You're going to the bottom of the pool? No, no, no!
As soon as he heard that these people in front of him wanted to go to the bottom of the pool to check, Meng Ge suddenly became anxious. He hurriedly stood up and waved his hand at everyone and said, "Do you know how deep the bottom of that pool is? What's more, the water there has already turned into a cold ice, and ordinary people can't even stand it with their hands, let alone jump into it!"
Sha Seng smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Don't say it's cold black water, even if it's weak water in the middle of the West Sea, we'll go there!"
"Wukong, do you really have a way to stop the city from falling?"
Tang Seng, who had been listening to everyone's conversation at this moment, couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, Master, if you can stop it, you'll have to wait until you look at the pool first. Even if not, we have nothing to lose. Sun Wukong said.
Tang Seng nodded, and his face couldn't help but show a faint joy.
"In that case, then you should go and see it quickly. ”
"There's no hurry. Sun Wukong smiled. Then he leaned his face closer to Tang Seng and said, "Master, I'm afraid that my grandson can't go alone, wait to find a helper." ”
"Helper?"
Tang Seng was slightly stunned, thought for a while and asked, "Then who do you want to go with you?"
At this time, Zhu Bajie, who had been stuffing corn flakes in his mouth, suddenly realized something. So he secretly shrank his body down, trying to hide his body as much as possible.
"Bajie!"
But who is Sun Wukong? He has long noticed the changes in Zhu Bajie. So he dodged and came directly behind Zhu Bajie and gently grabbed his ear.
"Hurt......
was grabbed by Sun Wukong's ear, and Zhu Bajie could only get out from under the table again.
